I do not think because you have a test ranking of 2 you have an automatic place in the ODI team as some players are not suited to that format.
[size=14pt]However when you replace someone you bring something better and that does not seem to be the case although extended runs have been given from what I can see.
Chanderpaul, despite the 66 or so average before his dropping, should have been retained and made to open as that is what he might do best given his avarice for being at the crease.
Not sure many current and established players have a better record than him. I am not sure, of his contemporaries, Gayle has a better record.
Does he? [/size][/quote]
Someone Help the Rev.
I find it most insincere to take a bit of a post and make and issue out of context. Rev I expected bettre from you and what you did is quite disgraceful.

EasyRider:
* You ought to know there is a huge difference between average and strike rate.
* Before his dropping Shiv's strike rate in his last 16 onedayers was only 66----not his average.
* So Shiv deserved to be dropped temporarily.
* The fact that he was dropped permamently----that is vindictiveness on part of Gibson and Butts.

* You have to understand guys like Coach Gibson and Chief selector Butts were failures when they played International cricket.
* And so now they have a little power----they use that power to force out a proven success like Shiv from onedayers and play mediocre performers like Johnson Charles.
* [size=14pt]It's envy, malice and spitefulness on part of Gibson and Butts that's kept Shiv away from the oneday team.[/size]
